EU Commission Won't Allow Intel Defense

BRUSSELS -- The European Commission said Intel Corp. filed a response to antitrust charges, but it rejected Intel's request to present a defense in an oral hearing.

Intel overshot by four months a deadline to respond to charges accusing it of squeezing out rival computer chip maker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. by illegal sales practices. A spokesman said Intel had confirmed answering the charges in a filing to U.S. regulatory authorities this month.
